The NORDPFAD Kuhbach-Oste also runs along here. All information about the hiking trail can be found under the following link: https://www.nordwaerts.de/aktiv-entspannt/tour/nordpfad-kuhbach-oste-100258932/ (as of November 6, 2024).

The burial mound is located in a pasture and therefore cannot be visited, but an information board explains its history. Since barrows were always created (also as waymarks) on trade routes, this hill indicates a former route.

It feels like somewhere in the middle of nowhere is this very well-kept boulder in the middle of a field, with no special access. There are small signs and a board along the way that refer to the three-circle stone and its meaning, but you should take a close look. I've been there twice already. Once in the spring on my bike, the whole meadow was under water, and in the summer my feet were dry. Seating and a table to pause are provided.

Idyllic landscape with sandy paths and juniper bushes.

A small but very well maintained city park in the center of Zeven. In spring, all kinds of early bloomers bloom here on the meadows.

I headed for the Vareler Heide on a tour between Hamburg and Bremen in order to avoid the main road as much as possible. I was very positively surprised. There is a lot of heather here, sheep or goats graze here and you can also see historic stables. The path through the heath is a lot of fun to drive because it is narrow and technically feasible. A highlight is the beautifully designed recreation area with a work of art. Here you have a great view over the heath. Conclusion: a must see.

The city park is nice for families. There is a lot to discover.

Charming heath area, but then a bit small. As a destination then only something for the curious or nature junkies who always need new destinations, otherwise more sensible as part of a longer route. Or as a local recreation area for residents.
